Tell me about your Bike Friday

[Blueberry]

So I think I'm going to Oregon and trying out a Bike Friday! I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with a consultant and it looks like there may be a Petite Crusoe in my future. I'm looking forward to having a new toy this summer!

Congratulations! Not sure how I missed this thread. I have a regular Crusoe (as does my DH). We have them set up (with a lot of help from Emily and a few others) with bar end shifters, and love them for travel. I don't ride it as much locally, but that's mostly because I have too many bikes (well...lots - no such thing are too many). We've flown with them 2-3 times, and have really enjoyed having them available as we travel (have taken them to San Diego and LA). If I were to order one now, I would seriously consider the belt drive and an internally geared hub. I think it would make packing/maintenance much easier (less to move/break, less to get grease on everything, etc.). They really are cool little bikes!

I totally agree! I just saw that they had that option now. What a great idea!
